ST. PAUL, Minn. – Macalester Athletics hosted its year-end celebration on Sunday, April 28 in Kagin Ballroom. Seniors were escorted into Kagin by bagpipes and welcomed into the Macalester M Club by club president Steve Cox ’76. Macalester Vice President for Student Affairs Kathryn Coquemont addressed the student-athletes, while Director of Athletics Donnie Brooks served as the Master of Ceremonies.
Several awards were handed out, as Macalester Athletics celebrated the 2024-25 school year.
Doug Bolstorff M Club Student-Athlete of the Year Award
This award is given to a student-athlete from a men’s and a women’s sport at Macalester who has contributed the most to the team’s success through athletic achievement, leadership and academic excellence.
Men’s Team Athlete – Arlo Heitler, track & field. Heitler had an outstanding indoor season this winter, setting school records in the 200 and 400 meters, and earning All-MIAC honors in the 400 with a third-place finish at the MIAC Indoor Championships. His school-record time in the 400 qualified him for his first NCAA Indoor Championships, where he placed 12th to receive All-American honorable mention. Also an honorable mention All-American outdoors a year ago, he has set school records in the 100 and 200 meters outdoors this spring. Heitler currently ranks 26th in the 400 in Division III heading into the MIAC Championships at Macalester Stadium May 9-10.
Co-Women’s Team Athlete – Peyton Starks, women’s basketball. This season, Starks became the first Macalester women’s basketball player to be named the MIAC Offensive Player of the Year. A three-time All-MIAC selection, she averaged 18.6 points per game this year, nearly three points per game more than the second-leading scorer in the conference. Starks is the only women’s basketball player to lead the MIAC in scoring for three straight years since the 1999-2000 season. Also a two-time All-Region player, she wasn’t just a scorer, as she ranked third in the MIAC in steals and eighth in rebounding. In 101 career games as a Scot, Starks scored 1,652 points to finish as the program’s second-leading scorer.
Co-Women’s Team Athlete – Verity Wray-Raabolle, swimming & diving. Wray-Raabolle had an amazing senior season in the pool. At the MIAC Championships, she won the 100-yard backstroke, finished second in the 50-yard freestyle and took third in the 200-yard backstroke. She also swam on four All-MIAC relay teams, including three conference champions, to help the Scots finish second in the MIAC, their highest finish in the program’s history. Wray-Raabolle’s 100-yard backstroke time in the 400-yard medley relay qualified her for the NCAA Championships, where she competed in three events. She was the only women’s swimmer from the MIAC to swim at nationals this year. Wray-Raabolle leaves Macalester having set two individual school records and four more school records as a member of the Scots’ relay teams.
Dorothy Michel Award – Peyton Starks, basketball and Livi Novello, soccer
This award honors the outstanding junior and a senior female student-athletes of the year at Macalester and was established by family, alumni and friends in memory of Dorothy Michel, chair of the women’s physical education department from 1946-1968.
Junior – Jess Palmer-Sammons was named the CWPA Most Valuable Player this season after leading the Scots with 49 goals, 65 points and 65 steals in 19 games. In a win over Carthage, she tied the school record for goals in a match with nine. Outside of the pool, Palmer-Sammons has a perfect GPA and volunteers at La Clinica, a Minnesota Community Care clinic that provides medical care to public insured or uninsured patients, in a Spanish-speaking community.
Senior – At the MIAC Swimming & Diving Championships this winter, Caroline Chapon competed in seven events and earned All-MIAC in six of them while receiving honorable mention in the other. She helped the Scots win three MIAC titles in the relays while taking second in both the 100-yard freestyle and the 100-yard butterfly. This year Chapon set individual school records in the 100- and 200-yard individual medleys, and she is a part of four relay school records. She’s also been on the Academic All-MIAC team twice.
David C. Primrose Endowed Prize – Tyler Edwards, cross country/track & field
This prize recognizes the outstanding junior male student-athlete of the year at Macalester and was established by family, friends and former students in memory of David C. Primrose, director of physical education and Macalester’s track and field coach from 1926-1954.
Tyler Edwards was the Scots’ top finisher at both the MIAC Championships and the North Region meet. He earned All-MIAC honors with a 10th-place finish at the conference meet, helping Macalester finish third for the team’s highest finish in 53 years. On the track, he finished eighth in the 5000 meters at the MIAC Indoor Championships in March. Also an excellent student, Edwards was on the Academic All-District team and was named an All-Academic Athlete by the USTFCCCA.
George E. Scotten Endowed Prize – Hans Haenicke, soccer
This prize recognizes the outstanding senior male student-athlete of the year at Macalester and was established anonymously by fellow class member of George E. Scotten, class of 1921, honoring the man who directed the Macalester Admissions Office for 30 years.
A forward for the Scots, Hans Haenicke terrorized opposing defenses for four years, racking up 35 goals to rank fifth all-time at Mac. The team’s leading scorer each season, he is just the 18th men’s soccer player in MIAC history to be named All-MIAC all four years. Haenicke also is the second Scot to earn All-Region honors three times. Also a standout academically, Haenicke is a two-time Academic All-American.
Rising Scot Award
The Rising Scot Awards were created to recognize a first year or sophomore from a men’s team and a women’s team who has made an immediate impact on their sport while performing at a high level. Sophomore and first year Rising Scots were honored.
Co-Rising Scot Men’s Team First Year – John Ihrke started his career at Macalester with a solid cross country season, helping the Scots take third at the MIAC Championships while finishing second among all first years in the conference meet. At the MIAC Indoor Championships, he was named the Rookie of the Year after winning the 800 meters and taking fourth in the 600 meters. Last week, Ihrke ran the fastest time in the MIAC in the 800 and currently ranks 24th in Division III.
Co-Rising Scot Men’s Team First Year – Kean Pajarillaga was named the MIAC Co-Rookie of the Year for swimming after winning the 200-yard backstroke and taking fifth in both the 500-yard freestyle and the 100-yard backstroke at the MIAC Championships. He also swam on three All-MIAC relays and two school-record relays.
Rising Scot Men’s Team Sophomore – Kasdan Blattman has been a walking highlight reel since joining the Scots’ men’s soccer team as a central midfielder, confounding his opponents with his speed and skill. This year he was named to the All-Region second team, one of a handful of sophomores to earn the honor. He is also a two-time All-MIAC selection.
Rising Scot Women’s Team First Year – Ariella Rogahn-Press started rewriting the Macalester record book almost immediately, breaking school records almost every time she raced. At the MIAC Indoor Championships, she was named the Rookie of the Year after placing second in the 200 meters and fourth in the 400 meters. Rogahn-Press qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships in the 400 and finished sixth to earn All-American honors. Outdoors, she has the nation’s second-fastest 400 time and is ranked 30th in the 200.
Rising Scot Women’s Team Sophomore – Tess Bojorquez has been a standout player for the softball team as both a pitcher and hitter, ranking among the MIAC leaders in both areas. She has the sixth-most runs batted in and the seventh-lowest earned run average in the conference this season. In Game 2 against St. Olaf last Sunday, Bojorquez pitched all eight innings and then delivered a two-out, walk-off single that scored the game-winning run in the eighth inning. The win clinched a spot in the MIAC Playoffs for the Scots.
Academic Team of the Year
This award honors the top male and female teams that achieve the highest cumulative grade point averages.
Men’s Soccer
Women’s Tennis
Kofi Kup
The award is presented to the winners of the annual Kofi Kup competition for student-athlete involvement. This year’s winning team is Women’s Basketball.
The Rider Cup – Nicole Norton, volleyball/basketball and Austin Mills, football/track & field
This award is presented in memory of Janis Rider to a male and female student-athlete who excels in two or more sports, is a talented scholar and involved in community service.
Nicole Norton – As a setter for the volleyball team, Norton registered over 1,500 assists to rank sixth in the program’s history. During her career, she went from starter to role player and back to starter and, according to Coach Mary Johnston, accepted her role and always put the team first. Each winter Norton seamlessly made the transition to basketball, providing toughness and skill as a guard for the women’s basketball team. As a senior, she led the Scots in field goal percentage. Norton also earned Academic All-District honors in both sports.
Austin Mills – In the fall, Mills led the Scots’ football team in sacks and tackles-for-loss, displaying a complete recovery from an injury that cost him the 2023 season. He was a disruptive force on the defensive line after transitioning to the line from the linebacker position. As a thrower for the track & field team, Mills broke the school record in the weight throw this winter and placed fifth at the MIAC Indoor Championships. Outdoors, he has the fourth-best mark in school history in the hammer throw and currently ranks seventh in the MIAC in that event.
Shield of Strength Awards
This award is given to a male and a female senior student-athlete who has shown commitment, leadership, and a strong work ethic in the weight room throughout their four years as a student-athlete; a person who has demonstrated the ability to be successful and help the teammates around them reach their full athletic potential.

Columbiana – Summer break is in full swing and over 40 students ranging from kindergarteners through eighth graders dedicated some of their time to developing their volleyball skills.
The SCHS Kiddie Camp took place at Shelby County High School from June 9-11. Head varsity coach Stacy McGehee is pleased with the turnout.
“We got 42 campers this year,” McGehee said. “We were really expecting about 20 so this camp is going beyond our expectations of what it was going to be.”
The camp is an attempt to increase volleyball’s presence in the community, something McGehee believes is vital in building up a successful program.
“We’re trying to increase volleyball in the Columbiana area because we haven’t had one of these before,” McGehee said. “We’re trying to build on the success of the city league that we have a couple of teams in.”
There was a significant amount of interest in a volleyball camp around the community, leading to McGehee’s decision to hold one and do his best to shape the future of the game in Columbiana.
“We had some people in the community reach out and just ask if we would have a camp and just help work on the fundamentals and teach them about the game so maybe we could grow our city league program or just have a little bit more interest in volleyball in our community as well,” McGehee said.
While the high school players are not focused on getting better themselves during the camp, this event has still played a large role in building team chemistry and allowing them to learn how to work together.
“I really think this helps to maybe teach a little bit of leadership for the girls since they’re instructing the camp,” McGehee said. “It builds a little camaraderie with our players as they work together and have fun with each other while we’re still doing the camp as well.”
Teaching the skills to the campers allows the older players to gain some additional practice through mental reps.
“It just reinforces in their mind some of the things that we’re trying to teach them as well,” McGehee said. “What we’ve taught them or are trying to get them to do, they’re telling the campers how we’d like them to play volleyball.”
McGehee said interacting with younger athletes and building up their volleyball skills will pay off in the future as they will be prepared to join the high school roster in the years to come.
“It’s just going to create more interest and hopefully it will peak the curiosity of some of the better athletes growing up,” McGehee said. “This might be a sport that they like and want to play as they get into middle school and on up into high school.”
The main thing McGehee hopes the camp is able to accomplish, however, is strengthening the bond between the program and the community.
“I’m hoping that doing this will bring more people to the games and make them aware that we do have a volleyball program in our community that wants to share with the community,” McGehee said. “Just building up a relationship with them to where they would want to be more supportive of our program.”

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 11, 2025) – The U.S. Men’s National Team opened the 2025 Volleyball Nations League with a 3-0 (25-22, 25-20, 25-23) loss to Ukraine on Wednesday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The U.S. (0-1) will face Iran on Thursday, June 12, at 5 p.m. PDT. Watch the match live on VBTV.
Ukraine is in its first year in VNL and thus picked up its first-ever win against the young U.S. team. First-year head coach Karch Kiraly started 2024 Olympian Jeff Jendryk at middle blocker, Andrew Rowan at setter, Cooper Robinson and Jordan Ewert at outside hitter, Gabi Garcia at opposite, Merrick McHenry in the middle, and Kyle Dagostino at libero. Rowan, Robinson and McHenry were all making their VNL debuts.
From the beginning of the match, Ukraine used a strong serve to keep the U.S. off balance. That, along with several U.S. errors in set one, gave Ukraine the advantage it needed to win 25-22. Robinson led the U.S. in the set with six points on five kills and a block.
The U.S. kept with Ukraine in set two, down just one at 15-14, but Ukraine went on a 10-5 run to win 25-20. Kiraly spoke about his team’s performance in an interview with VBTV after set two.
“We’re just making not smart plays,” he said. “You got a little setter and a big middle, and we hit at the big middle instead of the little setter; pretty simple geometry there. [We have to] clean up our reception game a little, too, and keep the ball on our side of the net more. We’ve got some good hitters to set, but if we’re getting aced or passing over, that doesn’t help us at all. I can’t say I like a lot right now. but this is a part of the process. Everybody’s got to have their first VNL match, and it’s not always going to be pretty. That’s the beauty of the process. There’s lots of ugly and lots of struggle.”
The team responded in set three with better overall play, and jumped out to an early 10-5 lead. Ukraine began to crawl back, scoring four straight to make it 10-9. No one could grab the edge the rest of the match, until Ukraine broke the 23-23 deadlock for a 25-23 win.
Garcia and Robinson both finished the match with 13 points. Garcia had 10 kills, two blocks and an ace, and Robinson had 12 kills and a block. Ewert had seven kills; and McHenry had six points on three kills, two blocks and an ace. Champlin scored four points (one kill, two blocks, one ace), and Rowan had a block.
Ukraine led the U.S. in kills (40-33) and aces (5-3), but the U.S. held the edge in blocks (8-6).
